Danmachi: The Focalors Familia Starting from the Dungeon

Using a massive floating rock as a springboard, Tifa pushed off with explosive force in her legs, launching herself like a cannonball directly toward the nearly vertical, gigantic wall of water.

Under the effects of the Divine Protection of the Water God, her feet planted firmly on the rushing waterfall. In an absolute defiance of gravity, she sprinted upward at top speed.

Reaching a sufficient height, she kicked hard against the water curtain, transforming into a streak of black lightning as she plunged fearlessly into the flock of Harpies.

The Harpy closest to her didn't even have time to react before a fist wrapped in invisible magic slammed solidly into its chest.

The crisp sound of shattering bone echoed in the air.

The force of the punch instantly pierced its flesh, pulverizing its internal organs. Even the Magic Stone hidden deep within its body was shattered into dust by the overbearing strike.

The Harpy's body immediately went rigid, stripped of all life.

Without a second glance, Tifa used the corpse as a fulcrum for her left leg, kicking off forcefully. Her body traced an impossible arc through the air, dodging another Harpy's sharp claws, while her right leg cleaved downward like a battleaxe.

Another muffled thud, and the second Harpy's head was kicked into oblivion.

She danced through the sky just like that, using the monsters' bodies as her stepping stones.

The dark figure twisted and leaped through the air, executing a dizzying, spectacular aerial massacre.

On the water's surface, Daphne wielded her rapier, engaging in a fierce struggle with the endlessly emerging Aqua Serpents.

Jeanne , gripping her battle standard spear, held the rear steadily, intercepting every straggler that tried to breach the defensive line and threaten Robin and Hyacine.

While directing the battle, Robin calmly raised her hand. Successive sonic blasts shot accurately into the sky, knocking down the Harpies that managed to slip past Tifa's interception one by one.

Aiden's figure became a straight black line across the burning water. Without the slightest hesitation, he leaped, landing directly on the Amphisbaena's undulating, mountain-like spine.

The moment he landed, he drove the Godslayer: Surtr fiercely into the dragon's body.

The supposedly indestructible dragon scales were as fragile as paper before the Spirit Weapon, tearing open effortlessly.

Without pausing, Aiden pushed forward, holding the sword in a reverse grip, sprinting wildly along the massive dragon's back.

The blade of the Godslayer: Surtr plowed deep into the flesh, leaving behind a terrifying, bone-deep gash dripping with blood.

"Roar—!!!"

The Amphisbaena let out a heart-wrenching roar of agony. Its massive body thrashed wildly, trying to buck the ant off its back.

One of the heads whipped around, its dragon pupils burning with rage, locking dead onto Aiden. It opened its gaping maw, and Azure Flame began to condense in its throat.

However, just a fraction of a second before that devastating dragon breath could be unleashed...

A silver shooting star descended from the heavens.

It was Firefly.

She stomped violently onto the Amphisbaena's open upper jaw.

The immense force forcibly clamped the dragon's mouth shut.

The fully formed Azure Flame, with nowhere to vent, detonated explosively inside its own mouth.

A terrifyingly muffled explosion rang out from within the dragon's head. Scorched black smoke mixed with bloody froth spewed out from between its tightly clenched teeth.

Caught in the explosion's shockwave, the flames on Firefly's back erupted violently, propelling her like an arrow shot from a bow toward the other, intact dragon head.

Another unadorned, straightforward punch.

Boom!

The instant the fist collided with the dragon's head, another small-scale explosion went off. The massive head was knocked violently to the side, its neck bones groaning under the unbearable strain.

In sheer agony, the Amphisbaena's tail breached the lake's surface, howling through the air like an army-sweeping giant hammer, smashing viciously toward Firefly in mid-air.

But Aiden was faster.

He appeared behind Firefly in a flash. The Godslayer: Surtr in his hands was already wreathed in the Everlasting Flames and pitch-black, crimson-streaked lightning.

Facing the whistling dragon's tail, he simply swung his sword out.

A crimson blade light flashed.

The massive dragon tail, capable of shattering mountains, paused in mid-air for a brief second before silently detaching from the body. It plunged limply into the burning lake, accompanied by a massive shower of blood.

The pain of a severed tail, the injury from its own exploding breath, the accumulated damage, the continuous blood loss, and the unforgivable threat these two insects posed to its draconic pride...

All of this finally, completely ignited the Floor Boss's wrath.

In that moment, the Amphisbaena's four dragon eyes turned blood red—an undisguised display of rage and killing intent.

Something had been triggered.

It was the reverse scale, buried deep within its soul and bloodline, belonging solely to dragons.

Both of the Amphisbaena's heads let out piercing shrieks simultaneously. Then, its massive white body plunged headfirst into the lake water below.

Huge fins parted the water, kicking up not mere splashes, but boiling waves.

Aiden stood firmly on the water's surface, the Godslayer: Surtr held horizontally across his chest. His eyes were sharp, locked onto the center of the lake that continued to churn violently after the behemoth's disappearance, guarding against a sudden ambush.

High in the air, the still-burning SAM mech caught the exhausted, falling Tifa like a silver bolt of lightning.

Without a moment's hesitation, Firefly used the mech's arms to thrust Tifa back up toward the densest cluster of Harpies.

Riding that powerful thrust, Tifa adjusted her posture in mid-air, diving back into the screeching horde of monsters.

"Its target changed..."

In the rear, Robin closed her eyes, releasing her perception without reservation, tracking the movement of that massive magic source underwater.

Within her sensory network, the Amphisbaena completely ignored Aiden on the surface. Instead, it swam at an astonishing speed straight toward the most spectacular landmark of this Dungeon floor—the giant waterfall descending from the heavens.

"It's going into the waterfall!"

Robin quickly warned.

The next second, as if confirming her words, a mountain-like wave swelled up. The massive white dragon body charged fearlessly into the roaring water curtain of the Great Fall.

Jeanne , Daphne , Hyacine , Cassandra... everyone subconsciously stopped what they were doing and looked up at the colossal waterfall that connected multiple floors like a divine miracle.
